Bankers' Protest.

hundred years ago, in a tinis of depression following a great war, the merchants of London present- ed to Parliament a memorabla petition against the 'Anti-Com- marcial Principles' of the restric- tive system then in force. To-day, moved by the same anxieties, weighed down by far haaviar taxation, and face to face with proposals intended to renew the restrictive methods of the past, we j submit that it is essential to the revival of confidence that no legislative OF administrative measures should be taken which would diminah the total output of British industry or check the free exchange of British goods.
